Patient's question:
My baby is only ten months old and just started teething. She also has very little hair. The calcium supplements I bought before don't like to drink them. I would like to ask what foods can be eaten to supplement calcium? Also, her hair is very sparse.Doctor's answer:
The foods suitable for a 10-month-old child to supplement calcium generally include calcium-fortified formula milk, soy products such as tofu and soybeans, and bone broth, which can be given to the child in appropriate amounts. The dietary method usually takes longer to take effect, especially since infants' digestive systems are not very strong and their ability to digest is limited. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use specialized calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate. At the same time, it is appropriate to consume more cod liver oil to enhance calcium absorption.
